El Huique 2004 Reserve Marchigûe Estate Cabernet Sauvignon (Colchagua Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $28
Warm, rubbery, ripe and loaded with berry fruit, vanilla and floral notes. The palate has sweet flavors, a rich texture and a touch of syrupy thickness to it, while the flavors of berry, mineral and herbs all come together in friendly unison. Still holding its form nearly six years after harvest; drink now.

- Best Buy
- $13
Herbal cherry and floral aromas provide a nice opening, and the palate is full and balanced, like a solid Colchagua Cab should be. Flavors of cherry and plum are level, long and tasty, and that pretty much describes the finish as well. Honest, true Chilean Cabernet.

El Huique 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon (Colchagua Valley)
- Best Buy
- $13
Bright and zesty raspberry aromas bring a hint of leather and cheese. The palate is creamy and solid, with sweet, lightly candied flavors of red berry and cassis. Finishes with gravitas and balance as well as perky cherry and raspberry flavors.

El Huique 2009 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon (Colchagua Valley)
- $18
Black cherry and violet aromas control what amounts to a compact, straightforward bouquet. It feels flush and ripe, with friendly tannins and a range of dark fruit flavors that lead to a warm finish with molasses-like richness. Very nice Cabernet to drink now through 2014.

El Huique 2005 Reserve Marchigûe Estate Cabernet Sauvignon (Colchagua Valley)
- $28
This mature wine is a touch gritty and baked on the nose, and the palate has some scratch and choppiness to the mouthfeel. But core flavors of stewed berry, baked plum and cherry are good, and the finish of molasses, brown sugar and ripe berry fruit has its merits. Drink now.

Earthy and staunch on the nose, with gentle burnt, leafy qualities to go with berry aromas. Ripe plum, berry, pepper and dryness define the palate, while the finish shows vanilla and a mild leafiness. Has enough positives to earn a recommendation.

El Huique 2009 Reserve Carmenère (Colchagua Valley)
- $18
A jammy raspberry aroma comes with a herb note and a pinch of varietal green. The palate is fresh, forward and well balanced, a nice home for plum, cherry and herb flavors. On the finish this is clean and fairly light in body, with some snappiness.

El Huique 2005 Special Selection Syrah-Cabernet (Colchagua Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $15
Slightly rough and leathery on first take, and a little soupy as well. Airing clears things up, leaving a steady, mildly stewed wine with roasted plum and blackberry flavors. Ripe, sweet and generous, with a controlled finish that properly reflects the wine’s flavors and mouthfeel.
